Every year between June and December, southern right whales migrate to the southern hemisphere, as they use South African watersย for calving and rearing their young. Biomagnetite has been found in the brain of whales and dolphins, and it is widely believed that marine mammalsย use magnetism as well as sonarย to direct themselves during migration. At 65onCliff, we are blessed annually with the Southern Right Whale mothers and calves, inftont of the house overlooking Walkerbay in De Kelders Gansbaai ๐ฟ๐ฆ #65onCliff #65ONCLIFFGANSBAAI #whaleseason #whalewatchinggansbaai #southernrightwhale #southafricanaccommodation #southafricaworkholiday #southafricantourism #specialplacestostay #ilovewhales #gansbaaitourism #dekelders #bucketlisttravel
On the 29th of May 2024, a Great White Shark (๐๐ข๐ณ๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ค๐ข๐ณ๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐ช๐ข๐ด) necropsy confirmed Killer Whale (๐๐ณ๐ค๐ช๐ฏ๐ถ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ค๐ข) predation in Cefane, Eastern Cape, South Africa. The necropsy was conducted by Kevin Cole (East London Museum) in collaboration with Dr. Alison Towner (Rhodes University), and represents the first confirmed Killer Whale predation on a Great White Shark in the Eastern Cape. The adult male shark (4.2m), whose stomach contained remnants of a freshly-consumed common dolphin, was found in the Nyara River Mouth and displayed injuries that were consistent with Killer Whale predation (liver missing, rake teeth marks). This was the 14th confirmed attack on a Great White Shark by Killer Whales. #greatwhiteshark #whiteshark #carcharodoncarcharias #necropsy #killerwhale #orca #orcinusorca #predation #killerwhalepredation #cefane #easterncape #southafrica #gansbaai #gansbaaitourism #gansbaaisouthafrica #gansbaaisharks #gansbaaisharkdiving #sharkdiving #sharkdivingansbaai #sharkdivingsouthafrica #sharkcagediving #sharkcagedivinggansbaai #sharkcagedivingcapetown #sharkcagedivingsouthafrica #sharkresearch #sharkeducation #sharkconservation #sharkawareness #sharks #greatwhite
